With over 50 deployments of plasma treatment lines worldwide Plasmait has established itself as a trusted supplier to the wire and tube industry.

now manufactures a comprehensive range of weld-purging systems to remove oxygen from the weld chamber as fast as possible, allowing the welder to produce high quality, oxide free welds. The latest addition to this range is the patented ‘rapid purge’ system. As its name suggests, the rapid purge is designed for speed. Utilising a unique ‘donut’ design twin inflatable bladder housed in a special nomex and Kevlar mix heat resistant material, the ‘donut’ and unique ‘thru-bore’ design of these systems means that the area to purge

is localised to the weld root reducing both gas usage and purging times dramatically. For example, a 36" pipe will purge down to 0.1% oxygen in less than 10 minutes. Whether 8" or 80" pipe, due to the materials used, these lightweight yet rugged systems allow easy withdrawal from the pipe once deflated, even round bends and elbows. For fast, precise welds, with minimal gas usage, rapid purge is the solution for every pipe welder when the weld quality of exotic material is critical. Used in conjunction with PIPE’s comprehensive range of weld purge monitors, these systems enable the welder to produce highest quality welds in very little time and with no oxidisation.
